Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Dev Tracker

[Developer Insight - Kit Update]

Hi Holotable Heroes,

As a belated Father’s Day present we are releasing an update to Darth Vader’s Kit! It has been quite a while since we have updated this kit and while he has been a powerhouse in the past, it’s a good time to bring him up to snuff with a new ability, Merciless Massacre.

The Basics:

• Darth Vader has a new ability added to his kit, Merciless Massacre, which allows him to take an extra turn whenever he attacks an enemy with Merciless Target
• In combination with his updated Unique that now dispels Stealth, Merciless gives Vader...

Hi Holotable Heroes!

One of the most anticipated characters in Galaxy of Heroes, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, is joining the Holotables! Despite his humble beginnings as a moisture farmer on Tatooine making runs to Tosche Station for power converters, we always knew Luke Skywalker was destined for greater things. His victory over Jabba the Hutt was a mere hint at the strong bond Luke shared with the Force as a Jedi Knight, a lesson the Empire would later learn firsthand during the Battle of Endor.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Based on your feedback and questions around Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker’s kit, we are making two changes to the description of his Leader ability to help clarify its interaction. These updates to the kit description will not change the mechanics or balance of the original kit. The Kit Reveal post has been updated with the new description or read on below.

The first change is regarding the line that explains the enemy’s speed can’t be manipulated after their Speed is set. While this is true in most cases, those units can still benefit from positive effects like Speed Up since this effect does not change the unit’s base Speed. Tha... Read more

Once again we’ll also give you an approximate start date for each of the feats so you can prepare.

Hi Holotable Heroes,

The Imperial TIE Bomber is making its way to the Holotables, ready to enforce the Empire’s will on those who dare to rebel. Often serving in the first line of attack, TIE bombers drop vast quantities of munitions, delivering devastating attacks with frightening accuracy.

Although the crewless TIE bomber is the first ship in Galaxy of Heroes to apply Burning, its main strength lies in being a defensive stalwart for Imperial factions. Crippling the enemy’s Offense and exhibiting bravado b... Read more

Hi Holobles Heroes,

Many of you have been asking about the drop rate during the Galactic Chase for the Rebel Y-wing and why it differs from previous Galactic Chases on Fleet nodes. We wanted to move Galactic Chases back to Fleet nodes for narrative purposes as well as knowing that players were already farming Fleet nodes at an accelerated rate due to gearing characters for the Galactic Legends. Back in July of last year, we changed the refresh rate and cost of Ship Energy to match regular Energy. This cut the refresh rate and cost of refreshes for Ship energy in half and Galactic Chase drop rates on Fleet nodes were adj... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We know you are eager for new game modes and features, but in order to do so it's important that we spend time improving the foundation of the game. Rest assured - more content is coming, but the game has evolved tremendously over the years and so have the needs and expectations for it.

Much of the gameplay experience you see in our game is largely handcrafted; while this has worked until now, it doesn’t allow us to build fast enough to satisfy the demand for content. In order to ensure there are many more exciting years to come for Galaxy of Heroes, we are taking some additional time in order to build up our tools needed to take our game to the next level.

In addition to the tools, we’re working on technology upgrades that will improve memory handling and performance, client stability, and make it easier for us to place cinematics in game.

We’re planning to share details on upcoming content features in the Road Ahead which h... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

Today we have a ship famous for its role in taking out the Empire’s most heavily armored targets, the Rebel Y-wing! Prized for its durability and versatility, the Y-wing has gone through several iterations while serving as a valuable contributor to various fleets since its galactic debut. It is sure to bolster any Rebel fleet with its new debuff, Shield Disruption, which weakens enemies, making them more susceptible to attacks. The Rebel Y-wing also acts as a powerful crewless tank, giving its fleet more... Read more

Hi Holotable Heroes,

We are more than half way through May already and #StayAndPlay continues this month with two more events!

• Normal and Hard nodes in Light Side, Dark Side, and Fleet Battles will be rewarding double drops on 05/27! NOTE: This does not include Galactic Legends Event tickets

Stay safe out there and see you on the Holotables!
